NAMES NEW LIQUOR LAW.
Conflict Between the Federal and state
Courts,

Courts
AUGUSTA, Me-, April IA LIQUOR case
on trial Ia the Superior Court here
has developed a conflict between the
Federal and State courts, as a result OF a
clash between the new LIQUOR law OF the
State and the regulations of the Internal
Revenue Department. One of the pro-
visions OF the new liquor law is that the
payment of retail internal revenue tax
by the accused shall be considered prima
facie evidence of violation of the law, and
the penalties provided shall be inflicted
without further process. In the case on
trial, Reuben G.. Halls, accused of having
Violated the law, Deputy Collector of In
ternal Revenue Murphy was called to the
stand to testify as to the payment of a re-.
tail tax by the defendant. Murphy refused
to testify, stating that if he should give
such evidence bis action would be likely
to reduce the amount of collections in his
district, besides being contrary to the in
structioDs of Collector Redmsn.
Judge Whitehouse theh Or..ered him
committed tor contempt of court, but sus-
pended the action on the mittimus until
10 o clock tomorrow morning. the pris-
oner meanwhile remaining in the custody
OF the Sheriff. This was to give Murphy
an opportunity to petition Judge Webb, OF
the United States District Court, of Port
land, for writ OF habeas corpus, the
necessary papers for which were at once
forwarded.
This morning Collector Redman tele-
graphed Judge Whitehouse that Murphy
was acting in accordance with the in
stTuctions Of himself and the Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue, and requesting the
prisoners discharge. This request was not
granted, and the case was continued. The
result OF the case will have an important
bearing on the matter of administering
the liquor laws adopted at the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature.

Logansport WIN Continue to Bore.

LoGANsPoRT, April 1.-THE boring for natural
gas near the Pan Handle shops was abandoned
yesterday. The company had contracted for
GOO feet well, and the contractors had reached
965 feet. About twenty-five feet were in Tren-

the depth of 1000 feet in that place, and as they
had reached strong vein OF mineral water,
which had risen, filing the well nearly to the
top, they settled with the contractors for the
amount bored and viii soon commence drilling

are perIecting their organizations preparatory
to drilling in other localities adjacent to the
city. This prospecting and drilling for gas or
oil has become fascinating here.
